When Du Shiyi's rear team of nearly 1,000 soldiers and horses entered Ji County, he learned about the battle situation ahead from Azler. The battle report sent to Chang'an is quite brief, but the actual severity of Cheng dù is several times more severe!

Two months ago, Zhang Xing led the main force of the alliance with the two divisions of Luo, and first went down to Yanzhou with a thunderous surprise attack, and stationed troops at Juyong Pass, which directly caused Youzhou to shake. Jia Xun, who was appointed by An Lushan as the envoy of Fanyang Jiedu, was originally unwilling to be disobedient, and when he learned that Yan Gaoqing booby-trapped Li Qincuo, captured Jingcheng Pass, and called on all prefectures and counties in Hebei to go anyway, and there was also a division of Anbei to enter Hebei Province, he made up his mind anyway, and began to plan to surrender after receiving a secret letter sent by Yan Gaoqing. However, although Jia Xun has served as an official in Pinglu and Fan Yang for many years, An Lushan has always guarded against him, a highly qualified general, so although he is the envoy of the festival, he is constrained and secretly stares at him a lot.

After perceiving his intentions, Don't take Niu Runke as the first to take action, put Jia Xun under house arrest, and Youzhou was also shaken. Zhang Xing, who found out this information, was about to take advantage of this to enter the army, but the defenders of Miyun County, Danzhou poured out, so that he could not take care of it. Previously, Shi Siming and Cai Xide led the army back to Hebei because of An Lushan's order, with a total of more than 50,000 troops on the two routes. Knowing that there had been changes in Youzhou, Shi Siming actually left all the army to Cai Xide, and he drove lightly, only taking more than 1,000 elite people to rush back to Youzhou to preside over the overall situation. As a result, Zhang Xingjing stopped Juyongguan from moving. Because Cai Xide's troops pointed directly at Changshan County and issued an order to slaughter the city, the states of Hebei were terrified, and another Anbei division led by Fu Guling dispelled the previous plan to take Youzhou with a strange and upright attitude, and simply retreated to Changshan.

Although Pinglu Hou Xiyi raised the banner of rebellion, Yuyang County of Jizhou also stationed heavy troops of An Lushan's lineage, and the two faced each other, and they were also deadlocked with each other.

And An Qingxu and Ashina Chengqing, Yan Zhuang, Li Guiren, An Shouzhong, etc., led the army that retreated from Heluo, and built another line of defense in Ye County, Xiangzhou. According to Guo Ziyi's decision to discuss with Fugu Huaien and Cheng Qianli, the army was supposed to take Anyang City, Ye County, which was occupied by An Qingxu, however, after defeating the rebels who attacked several times, the rebels could not retreat, and because Du Shiyi was recalled to Chang'an and did not return for a long time, Yan Zhuang and Ashina Chengqing made a plan, and took advantage of the battle to send people around Ye County to publicize the news that the Son of Heaven was suspicious of the heroes and had killed Du Shiyi in Chang'an, and the military heart of the Tang army was shaken for a while.

In the battle to capture Ye County, Cheng Qianli lightly advanced the enemy, but he was ambushed, if it wasn't for Guo Ziyi's servant Gu Huai'en to rescue him in time, Cheng Qianli himself would have almost died. And because of this defeat, the rebels took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the original Ye County and Tangyin County were almost lost. And all kinds of rumors are becoming more and more strict, and the morale of the Xinxiang garrison is so low.

Before Du Shiyi left Chang'an, he had estimated the battle situation in Hebei as much as possible in the direction of Yan zhòng, and at this moment he knew that the situation was even more severe than he imagined, he did not agree to the Xinxiang guards' efforts to stay, and immediately decided to leave those Guanzhong rangers who had not yet really formed an army to continue to train here, and at the same time issued a ban order, not to mention the matter of Chang'an, and then took Azler and the remaining forward battalion soldiers to the north overnight.

After a night of travel, when his group of hundreds of people arrived at the city of Tangyin County, the sky was still full of stars, the first rays of morning light had not yet risen from the east, and the countless torches lit on the city were extremely eye-catching.

The defenders here are much more vigilant than those in Ji County. As soon as this army of soldiers and horses from the south was discovered, some people immediately went to the city to report the news, and at the same time some people ran back and forth on the city wall, but they saw countless swords and guns, and they did not relax their vigilance because they came from the south. When the morning light finally appeared on the horizon, and the light of the torches at the head of the city, it was clear that one of the huge flags fluttering high and embroidered with Du characters was clearly seen, and a deafening cheer suddenly came from the city, and then several hanging baskets were put down. The hanging basket was not for the purpose of letting people go up the city wall, but for several people to be lowered from the city.

After a few people hurried to the front of this army of soldiers and horses, they saw that countless torches were suddenly lit up here, and there was also a side in the middle of those flags that was the Anbei forward battalion Du, and one of the old soldiers immediately asked loudly: "Dare to ask, is it really Du Dashuai who has arrived?" I am the team under the command of General Fugu, and I ask to see Du Dashuai! ”

Hearing that it was under the command of Fugu Huaien, Azler, who was in the front army, jumped off his horse. Although he was in Anbei Yatent City before, it was impossible for him to know everyone, so he immediately raised his torch and carefully examined this old man, but he felt that his face was kind, but the other party didn't sign up, and he really couldn't name it. However, he himself was extremely famous at the beginning, and the old pawn recognized him at a glance, and immediately asked with surprise and joy: "Is it really General Yingdu?" Didn't you stay in Chang'an? ”

"There is Xiao Langjun in Chang'an who leads the flying dragon rider, and my people will be abolished if they stay there, so the big marshal transferred me."

Azler didn't explain much, motioned for the people to follow him, and soon passed through the heavy crowd and came to the banner of the Chinese military marshal. Nie He saw clearly the middle-aged people surrounded by tooth soldiers, and the last trace of doubt in his heart was finally exhausted, and when he knelt down on one knee and saluted, he actually cried with joy: "If the whole city learns that the handsome man has returned, the morale will be greatly boosted!" The marshal, the army even discussed to send a joint blood letter of 10,000 people back to the court, please send the marshal back! In the past few days, there have been all kinds of rumors in the city, General Fugu, as well as Guo Dashuai and Cheng Dashuai, have repeatedly suppressed them, but they have only made the three armies feel a little at ease, and everyone is looking forward to Dashuai! ”

"Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly." Du Shiyi motioned for Azler to help the people up, and then asked about the situation in the city.

He had served as the envoy of the Shuofang Festival for more than ten years, and even though Guo Ziyi was now promoted to the commander of the festival, his prestige among the Shuofang soldiers and horses was no less than that of him in Anbei Yatent City. However, although he also led the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, he still has a very high prestige in Daizhou, Yunzhou, Hedong, but this time the soldiers and horses led by Cheng Qianli are mainly the heavenly soldiers in Taiyuan City, so such rumors even made the Hedong soldiers and horses feel very confused, and he was really a little surprised. When he understood that the Hedong Army was because of what happened to Wang Zhongji before, he was convinced that he was harmed by Li Longji, so because of the unstable morale of the army, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Without waiting for Nie He to return to the city to report the news, but in a quarter of an hour, the gate of Tangyin County had already been opened, and it was actually a horse that came in the dust, followed by a large army of hundreds of people. The comer rushed directly to the front army with a kind of unslowing down arrogance, and after sweeping his eyes, he shouted angrily: "I am a servant Gu Huai'en, give way, I want to see the commander!" ”

Such a style, such an angry roar, who would dare to stop it? But this time, as soon as everyone gave way, Fugu Huaien saw that someone had already come from the other side of the carriage. Although he could only faintly see the silhouette of a man riding on a horse in the newly dark sky, he had served under Du Shiyi for nearly twenty years, and he instinctively recognized who it was. He clenched the reins tightly, trotted his mount a few paces, and when the man was getting nearer, he finally couldn't help but saddle up and dismount, and after a few quick steps forward, he grabbed the bridle of the horse.

"Handsome ......"

"It's all grandfathers, and they can't hold their breath at all!" Du Shiyi saw that the servants Gu Huaien's eyes were red, so he also got off the horse and said with a straight face, "Can you believe those rumors of the rebels?" Faint your head! Now the rebels have to retreat to Hebei to survive, what we hope most is that we fight in our own nests, you and Ziyi are still sons and daughters, Cheng Qianli is also the person who knows right and wrong the most, as long as you cooperate sincerely, even if there are more soldiers and horses in Yejun, what is enough? ”

Although Du Shiyi was reprimanded as soon as they met, Fu Gu Huaien breathed a long sigh of relief. Because the rumors were so turbulent, he almost had to mistakenly think that the qiē was true, and every day while suppressing the army, he himself thought about whether to turn the horse's head and lead people back to Chang'an, so as to give the faint gentleman who was not enough to do enough things to do a good look! Therefore, after he smiled wryly, he took a step back and knelt down on one knee to apologize: "Dashuai, it was I who was not effective in governing the army before, as long as Dashuai comes back." ”

"You, you!" Du Shiyi helplessly stepped forward to help him up personally, but saw that the soldiers and horses in the city not far away gradually stopped, and only one rider came straight up. When the person was already close and recognized that it was Guo Ziyi, he patted Gu Huaien's shoulder and said, "Get on the horse and go to meet Ziyi!" ”

Like Fugu Huaien, Guo Ziyi has also been exhausted recently. In the previous defeat, Cheng Qianli's rash attack was of course a major reason, and the soldiers and horses in Hedong had no merit because of Wang Chengye's shrinking turtle, but this time they were full of strength to turn over the battle, but it was another big reason. After this defeat, rumors were overwhelming, the people in the army were angry and demoralized, and he himself was in a heavy mood, and he beat the spirit every day to boost the morale of the army, it didn't matter if he was physically tired, the most important thing was the heavy pressure on his spirit and soul.

Now that Du Shiyi is back, it undoubtedly means that there is no scene in Chang'an City where the relatives and enemies are happy, and he doesn't even feel that his slightly stiff back has been straight recently.

"Handsome ......"

"Okay, don't say anything, I've heard too much bad news from Jijun to Tangyin, let's go, go to the city! It's not time to pass on my order, and Mao is gathering generals in the Taishou Mansion of Ji County, and there must be no mistake! ”

Du Shiyi passed down such a military order before entering the city, and Guo Ziyi and Fugu Huaien were all in good spirits and responded loudly. When the two of them hurriedly returned and announced the good news to the other soldiers who had come out of the city, the last trace of depression and frustration was suddenly swept away. Du Shiyi has already returned, the rumors are self-defeating, and those rebels in Ye County are all washing their necks and waiting!

On the way into the city, Azler couldn't help but ride his horse close to Du Shiyi and asked in a low voice: "Dashuai, what happened in Chang'an City before......

"You give me an order, keep your mouth shut, and don't reveal half a word!" If there was no defeat of Cheng Qianli before, and there were no rumors that shook the morale of the army, Du Shiyi did not hesitate to pour another bucket of dirty water on Li Longji's already precarious reputation, but now the situation is grim, and every one has to make way for this future war. He gave Azler a stern look and said word by word, "If there is anyone in the forward camp who spreads this news, there will be no mercy!" At the same time, I will send someone back to Xinxiang, strictly ban the mouth, and do not mention this matter again, and the offender will be killed! ”
